Providing a Worry-Free Experience™
We have been doing this since 1991.
The Allen Groupe cares for corporate and private aircraft. Interior and exterior, brightwork, paint protection, disinfection, AOG response and scheduled programs, at twenty-three airports across the United States, at Toronto, and at seven fields in Europe. Roughly two hundred team members. One documented standard, applied the same way at every one of them.
Our story
It started with race cars.
David Allen started a mobile detailing business as a teenager in Speedway, Indiana, a few blocks from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His customers were the people who lived there.
Those customers bought airplanes. When they asked whether he could take care of those too, the answer was yes, and the business changed permanently. Aircraft turned out to be a different problem from cars: thinner finish, more materials in close proximity, higher consequences for getting the chemistry wrong, and customers whose asset was worth more than their house. Learning that difference properly is what the company has been built on ever since.
What has stayed the same, and what has not
The footprint has changed many times in thirty-five years. Locations have opened and closed, contracts have started and ended, and the company operates today across three countries.
What has not changed is the method. The same approach to chemistry, the same insistence on matching the product to the substrate, the same refusal to treat an airframe like a car. It is the reason operators who started with us in the nineties are still with us, and it is the only thing about a detailing company that is genuinely hard to copy.
The habits we hire for
We are a service business, which means the work is done by people standing on a ramp at four in the morning, not by anything written on a website. We hire and train against four habits.
- Be on time. The schedule is the aircraft’s, not ours.
- Do what you say you will do. Every time, including the parts nobody checks.
- Finish what you start. A ninety percent detail is not a detail.
- Say please and thank you. We are guests in someone else’s hangar.
They are unglamorous, and they are the whole business.
Our motto
Leave it with me.
Four words a team member says when an aircraft is handed over. It means the work is handled, the standard is the same as it was at the last field, and nobody has to follow up. That is the entire promise, and everything else on this site is an explanation of how we keep it.
